Wisconsin has bar carry if the establishment hasn't prohibited it, but no consumption of alcohol. Not sure what other state laws are, I'm sure they vary greatly. But awesome story.
Nothing worse than alcohol + weapons but if someone isn't drinking I would have no problem with them carrying. Pita to enforce though. :/.
Couldn't tell but it sounded like someone innocent got shot? Not sure I like the outcome assuming if someone hadnt shot the first guy its possible no one would have been hurt.

"Bar Carry" is misleading in VA. We don't have traditional bars here in NoVA, you have to also serve food. So if you disallow carrying in a place that serves alcohol youve effectively banned carrying in all restaurants. Obviously you can't drink yourself, but don't picture this is walking into a bar that only serves alcohol.
You are correct, but it's not just limited to NoVA, I'm pretty sure it's all over the state, in that an establishment must serve food.
WAVY TV article should have said 'restaurant' to be more accurate, but let's be honest and admit that it's a bit more sensational to say 'bar' or 'night spot,' 'sports bar,' etc.
That place isn't too far from me; I"ll have to ask around to see if there's any more info or back story to this.
figured it was state wide, but i only have personal experience in nova so i didn't want to speak out of turn. thanks for the added info.
Or the BGs would have killed more people. Obviously their guns were loaded. If someone is willing to put a gun to your head, why should you believe they wouldnt pull the trigger. I see where you are coming from, BUT I will never trust my life to a felon.
Too bad the other 2 werent stopped as well.
I bar tended 25 years ago, we had a sawed-off pump 12 gauge on top of the beer cooler under the bar. Never once pulled it out, thank God.
the carrying of weapons in a bar is different in many states, however i personally think if you are a law abiding citizen you should be allowed to protect yourself regardless of where you are. so good for this guy shooting the armed robber
In Michigan you can't carry if you drink at all. ( Seems like a good sensible rule ) And you can carry in a bar if 50% or more of bar income is from food and not single drink service. The only thing to stop a Bad Guy with a gun is a Good guy with a gun. It sucks that some people think they can take from others by force.
I agree with you, guess I'm just very torn on the subject. It's one he'll of a decision to pull a weapon let alone use it. Always hope I'm never in a position where it would be required. Of course I live in Illinois where only criminals and law enforcement can have guns. Since I'm neither ill just have to trust the criminals not to shoot. :/
Here in Fl you can't carry in a bar that just serves alcohol; but if it serves food also as long as you're not sitting AT the bar you're ok.
Of course you shouldn't be drinking and carrying to start with.

I'm pretty sure you can carry in a bar, as long as you don't drink.
This incident is a few miles from my house.
Young Thunder Cats in Hampton Roads have been killing and robbing folks left and right recently.

those assholes should've put more effort into finding jobs than robbing innocent people. shame they didn't all the bullet to the dome. no sympathy from me.
Sounds like the good guy won but it's too bad an innocent got shot and two of the bad guys got away.
From all the discussion, I'm gathering that if you're one of the 'perps,' see how many people are in the bar are drinking Club Soda. If there are any, hit the next one. Ditto for 'Village People' moustaches. (outside of certain places)
Classic 'casing the joint' fail, as I see it.
And, if this works, every bar could have several people downing Shirley Temples in plain sight (Designated Drinkers) to ward off the more thoughtful felons.
It's a part of Virginia's new "Drinking for Safety" program.
